Answer 1

No! bcoz the Pres. of US has his boss, whom i will stand by, and that's the People of the United States!!

Bob Besiktas: please read this;

Clear and Present Danger (1994)

Admiral Greer: You took an oath, if you recall, when you first came to work for me. And I don't mean to the National Security Advisor of the United States, I mean to his boss... and I don't mean the President. You gave your word to his boss: you gave your word to the people of the United States. Your word is who you are.

Best Regards.

Answer 2

I think there is a cult of personality surrounding Bush, perhaps because he has positioned himself as a quasi religious leader. Americans who are not in the military need to ask themselves what is their obligation to support the President, and where does this obligation end? We all have an obligation to follow the law, so is there a law which says we must "stand by" the President? If there was a such a law, we would have heard about it! Further, the constitution says we have free speech and that we have a presidential election every four years. To me that means it's our obligation to speak our mind about the President and his policies, and to do what we can to vote him out of office if we believe he is wrong.

Answer 3

Nothing says I have to get on a web site in a foreign country and lamblast the President either.

If I disagree with him I should contact my congressman and let my feelings be known. I can work to see that he is not returned to office next election, or vote some in who will not follow the same policies. I can write a letter to the editor expressing my concerns.

No, you don't have to stand behind the President, but you don't have to try and destroy the office by airing your dirty laundry in a foreign forumn either. Use your head.


g-day!

Answer 4

A simplistic argument. The President is the representative of the people. It used to be said that in America, politics stopped at the water's edge. Meaning that internally we can argue and disagree about any issue. But when faced with an external enemy, we put those disputes aside and offer a common front. It's sad that Dems (since being hijacked by radicals in the 60s) have violated that principle consistently.

Nations are like families. You might argue violently with your spouse or other family member, but when they are threatened by someone else, you will (or should) defend them. Libs have lost that common unity and join forces with America's enemies against the President and even the soldiers. It's unpatriotic and bordering on treasonous.

Answer 5

The pathetic reality is that there are still some that are so republican they will stand by this ruthless dictator (hes not stupid--hes politically clever and ruthless)

And thats whats wrong with america...people aretoo consumed with party lines that they feel its their duty to stick by their party -- evenwhen their party is wrong.

BUSH has proven he should be censured --
hes smart enough to make himself untouchable against prosecution...but he should be censured for every anti american thing hes one, and every time hes loopholed his way through the constitution..which has only weakened the constitution and the view other countries have of us.

Answer 6

All I know is - I will be standing in the Voting Booth on Nov. 4th 2008 come Hell or High Water!! ... And none of this 'hangin chad' bullcrap this time around.

Answer 7

IF the President issues an Illegal order we have the right to protest the order. To my Knowledge No President has Issued such an order in the History of the United States.

Answer 8

In the first place, you can't stand by him. If you want to be beside him you have to get down and lie in the mud.

Answer 9

Your option to do either is in your own hands in a democracy. Vote.

Answer 10

Well he made America look like a bunch of fools that didn't have the class or self control not to use his power to influence some wide eyed page when he had sex with her...and then further demeaned the office by lying to a grand jury about it...and when he allowed those who want to destroy America to go untouched when they attacked our world trade center in 93, blew up the USS Cole and bombed a couple of our embassy's..when on a couple occasions he could have captured Bin Ladin who later was the leader in the worst attack on American soil in history.. .yep, it was hard to stand by him....but he was our president......I couldn't wait for him to get out of office, but would have done anything to protect him if it were in my power to do so...I didn't "hate" him like I'm seeing now ....I never called for him to be hung or worse like I see in YA for President Bush....I've NEVER seen such hatred for one person and I think the ones who feel this hatred need to look at themselves in the mirror and try to understand what is going on with themselves...is it really President Bush you hate??....or the one the President worships......
